All Natural Hair Detangling Spray

Do you remember a few months back when I wrote about "no-poo"? Doesn't that sound lovely? It wasn't a post on being constipated; no, it was a post about naturally washing your hair. I have been no-pooing for almost a year now, and I have been quite happy with the results. My hair is really healthy and is even thicker than it was when I started, but it is a little tricky to comb through.

I felt like a little kid again not wanting my hair combed out because it hurt, and I'm super dramatic so that wasn't helping either. I started looking around for ways to help with my jungle of hair.

I found this recipe for a detangling spray, and I love it! The first time I used it was wonderful; I honestly just sprayed it through my hair and it was night and day difference of how much easier it was to comb my hair. 

I have straight, thick hair; my daughters have curly hair, and it works for all our different types of hair.

Hair Detangling Spray

12 ounces or larger spray bottle

1 1/2 cups water

3 Tbs marshmallow root

2 Tbs natural conditioner-I used this one

10 drops of essential oil-I used this one

Boil water and marshmallow root in a small pan. Reduce heat and let simmer 20-30 minutes. Let it cool slightly and strain through a cheesecloth or a very thin wire strainer. While still warm pour into your spray bottle and add your essential oil and conditioner. Then shake until it is all mixed in.
